[QUOTE="eby42, post: 1055708, member: 8263"] I usually clean the bore and chamber with Hoppe's #9 and a bronze brush (every once in a while I shoot Breakfree copper solvent down the barrel of carbines since Hoppe's is a so-so copper solvent), and then I use a nylon brush wrapped in patches and Breakfree CLP to clean and protect the rest of the gun, followed by conservative drops of Breakfree at the lube points and metal contact surfaces. On the barrel, I usually run the brush through a couple of times and then use a brass jag with patches (breakfree on the first few, then dry) until the patches are mostly clean coming out the other end. So far this technique has worked great for everything except bad cylinder fouling on revolvers, which I've heard can literally require power tools to get through if it's bad. [/QUOTE]
